A fisherman caught a baby manatee in his net. When he realized it was too young to be released, he nursed it himself

Fisherman Goué André Clotaire Gbagou in Ivory Coast rescued a young West African manatee from his net and is bottle-feeding it at a local wildlife enclosure. As of July 22, the calf weighs 25 kg and is estimated at two months old. The rescue has sparked grassroots conservation interest and prompted discussion of eco-friendly fishing practices and ecotourism to protect manatees and other vulnerable species.
